  -> Yes. Thank you, Rita

disagree  David Moore (X): Impossible! You cannot value a thing until it has been made, performed or whatever, and this is VALUATION, Rita...

  -> I'll buy your "valuation" but not your "impossible." Both the work to be done and the valuation of that work are in the future. They've made a sample which is to be the standard for the future valuation of the work that is to be done. That's how I see it.

agree  David Moore (X): Totally... A reference sample is there to show what IS TO BE made, and for valuation purposes once the item HAS BEEN made. Otherwise the English wording would include "TO BE"...(done for payment)
